Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a heat insulating cover for a water meter, and particularly to a heat insulating cover used for preventing freezing of water meters installed in high-rise buildings, etc.

Water dispenser thermal covers, which are formed by combining an inner mold with a split structure, an outer mold, and a lid, are already used in many places due to their heat retention and ease of assembly. The size of the water meter to be kept warm is specified and the size is designed to correspond to this size. Therefore, conventional thermal covers are exclusive products that can only be used with specific water meters, which necessitates the provision of many different types, which is disadvantageous in terms of manufacturing and inventory management. There was a problem.

The present invention was made to solve these conventional problems, and its purpose is to provide a water dispenser heat insulating cover that can be used for both large and small water dispensers. It is about providing.

That is, in order to achieve this objective, the water meter heat insulating cover of the present invention has an inner mold member vertically divided into two parts, and with the inner mold members facing each other, at least the water meter is placed inside. An inner mold in which a storage portion is formed; an outer mold that fits on the outer surface of the inner mold and has an opening formed in the upper surface; and a lid that fits in the opening of the outer mold. The water meter housing portion is formed to have dimensions corresponding to the external dimensions of the large water meter, and the inner mold member includes a support portion for the large water meter and a support for supporting small piping. A support wall for a small water dispenser is formed with a hole, and the support wall for the small water dispenser is removable.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the embodiment, a heat insulating cover A that simultaneously insulates a water meter and a water stop valve will be described as an example. The heat retaining cover A of this embodiment includes an inner mold 1, an outer mold 2, and lids 3, 3, and is constructed by a combination of these. Note that each of the above-mentioned constituent members is molded from a thermoplastic resin foam such as polyethylene foam.

The inner mold 1 is composed of a pair of left and right inner mold members 1a, 1a which are vertically divided into two parts.
A water meter accommodating part 4 and a water stop valve accommodating part 5 are formed inside with a and 1a facing each other. In this case, both the storage parts 4 and 5 are formed to have dimensions corresponding to the external shapes of the large water meter M and the large water stop valve N, respectively. And not only about large water stop valve N,
The dimensions are such that a small water dispenser m and a small water stop valve n can be easily accommodated.

Moreover, a support part 6 for a large water dispenser M and a support wall 7 for a small water dispenser m are formed in each inner mold member 1a, 1a, and the inner diameter of the support part 6 is larger than that of a large water dispenser M. It is formed to a size corresponding to the outer diameter of the nut 8 at the joint part of the large pipe P for M, and the support walls 7, 7 are formed to have a thickness that can be easily cut with a knife, and a support hole is provided in the center. 7a, 7a are formed,
The inner diameters of the support holes 7a, 7a are formed to a size corresponding to the outer shape of the pipe portion 9 at the joint portion of the small water meter m. Reference numerals 10 and 10 denote support walls for the small pipe p, and the pipe support walls 10 and 10 are also formed to have a thickness that can be cut with a knife, and have a dimension corresponding to the outer diameter of the small pipe p in the center. Support holes 10a, 10a are formed. Also, 1
Reference numerals 1 and 11 designate the top plate of the water stop valve storage section 5, and when storing the water stop valve in the storage space 5, the parts 11a, 11a that interfere with the handle or handle of the water stop valve are cut out with a knife. ing.

Next, the outer mold 2 is fitted onto the outer surface of the inner mold 1 with the inner mold members 1a and 1a facing each other, and has an opening 12 for connecting the water meter and a stopper on the upper surface. An opening 13 for operating a faucet is formed.

Moreover, the lids 3, 3 are connected to both openings 12, 1 of the outer mold 2.
3, and when reading a meter or adjusting a water stop valve, the lids 3, 3 must be opened.

Therefore, when using the thermal cover A of this embodiment, first, the inner mold members 1a and 1a are placed face to face so that the water meter and the water stop valve are stored in the storage parts 4 and 5, and this surface is Outer mold 2 is attached to the outer surface of inner mold 1 in the mated state.
After fitting, the lids 3 and 3 are fitted to the openings 12 and 13 of the outer mold 2, respectively, to assemble the heat insulating cover A, and the split heat insulating body 14 is fitted to the piping portion extending from the heat insulating cover A. , 14. When this heat insulating cover A is used for a small water dispenser m and a small water stop valve n, the support wall 7,
10 support holes 7a, 10a are formed with dimensions corresponding to the dimensions of the small water meter m and the small pipe p, so that the support walls 7, 10 can be opened without any processing (cutting). In this state, the inner mold members 1a and 1a are brought together face to face, and the small water dispenser m and the small water stop valve n can be stored in both the storage parts 4 and 5. In addition, when using the heat insulation cover A for a large water meter M and a large water stop valve N, it is necessary to use a small water meter M.
And, since the existence of the support walls 7 and 10 provided for the small pipes p becomes an obstacle when storing,
After cutting out the support walls 7 and 10 shown by the parallel hatched areas in FIG. A water meter M and a large water stop valve N are housed in each of the housing sections 4 and 5.

Incidentally, the interference portions 11a, 11a on the upper surface plate of the water stop valve storage portion 5 with the handle etc. are cut out regardless of whether the size is large or small.

As mentioned above, the heat retaining cover A of this embodiment can be used regardless of whether it is large or small, by simply performing the simple process of notching the support walls 7 and 10 during installation.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

For example, in the embodiment, an example was shown in which the water dispenser and the water stop valve were kept warm at the same time, but the heat insulating cover of the present invention also includes one in which only the water dispenser is kept warm.

Moreover, regarding the support walls 10, 10 for small piping,
Although it is not necessarily necessary and can be formed to a size compatible with large piping from the beginning, in order to improve the supporting state and sealing performance, it is necessary to
It is preferable to form 0 and 10 in advance.

As explained above, according to the present invention, one heat insulating cover can be used as two types of water meters, a large water meter and a large stop valve, which reduces mold manufacturing costs during manufacturing. This has the effect of being advantageous in terms of inventory management, etc.
